I did notice that. I smiled when I saw that as well.

Me satting there smug despite once betting £100 for Audley to KO Haye

Ouch that was a bold one mate. What were you banking on, domestic pride etc?

Sheer stupidity. I was 26 and legally a moron

I'd have it for Lewicki.

Good fight. For his sake I hope the 2nd Semi Final is a competitive bout.

Lewicki likely got that 2-1. It’s surely the best outcome given Nadeem’s cut.

Tough semi final 1 is better overall from a spectator POV i expect.

Ha ha don’t be too hard on yourself. I can’t remember my own prediction I’d have to scroll back through Boxrec. One thing I was definitely sure of - as much as I loved Haye he was never beating Wlad.

I thought Brown looked hurt when they both got up from that knockdown.

Osborne has clearly earned a spot in the final.

He’ll be up against it but it’s the right fight. Brown didn’t back it up there.

I feel like Osborne came back so well after that flash knockdown in the 1st that you could easily have made it a 10-9 round for Brown, and Osborne certainly won the 2nd and 3rd. I'd have it for him.

If it's a draw, do they do a 4th round? I guess we're about to find out.

Surely Osborne

Izzy couldn’t have asked for better after 6 fights, just need the final to be a good ‘un. Bet he can hardly believe it himself.

Who’s in final,?

Looking back at that first round with Brown and Osborne, I think when the “knockdown” happened Osborne tripped but Brown was actually rocked by Osborne’s head colliding with his chin. Brown definitely didn’t look right.

Lewicki and Osborne

I favor Osborne ever so slightly in the final, but I don't know. They've both had to work pretty hard to get there.

Osborne actually looked fresher in the semi. The final should be a nice little fast paced boxing match.

Bloody nora.

Would've like to have seen a count there but fair play Osborne, earned that prize tonight, brilliant night of boxing,

Well you did well, stunning win.

I can’t take any credit, was totally guessing given the format.

I remember the casuals loved Prizefighter. They'd have loved this too, if they had seen it.

Spectacular finish to a fun Tournament. Will be interesting to see some of these guys again, and I'd like to see this Tournament again in other weight classes.

IIRC the Prizefighter Willie Casey won was the best, sure every fight was a war but this one is def up there

Good show, very enjoyable with a real mix of characters and some cracking fights.

Wasn't expecting the explosive finishes, but that's entertainment.

This Izzy feller seems to put on consistently good shows.

James “Ozzy” Osborne wins super-middleweight Prizefighter tournament

Essex southpaw James “Ozzy” Osborne (13-1, 3 KOs) captured the one-night super-middleweight tournament crown at GBM: The Heist event on Saturday night, his 29-second KO win in the final capping what has widely been hailed as one of the most entertaining British boxing events of the year.

Osborne’s stoppage of Ryszard Lewicki earned him the £25,000 grand prize plus a £5,000 performance bonus, making for a total payout of £30,000.

The eight-man elimination event, which aired live and exclusively on DAZN from the Connexin Live, Hull, produced fast-paced action across three rounds per bout.

A reigning Southern Area super-middleweight champion, Osborne opened his campaign with a unanimous decision win over Haaris Khan, then defeated former English champion Germaine Brown – again by unanimous decision – to book his place in the final.

Lewicki reached the last two after stopping Ellis Steward, then edging Taz Nadeem by split decision in what was an unbelievable three-round war in their semi-final match.

In the final, Osborne wasted no time. A clean right hand floored Lewicki and forced an immediate stoppage, confirming 33-year-old Osborne as the tournament winner and one of the breakout performers of the night.

“I came here to win and I left no doubt,” said Wickford’s Osborne after his victory. “Every round, every fight, I stayed focused. The format suited me – I came prepared and tonight it all came together.”

GBM Sports founder and promoter Izzy Asif said, “This was one of the best nights we’ve delivered yet. The response from all of our partners, our boxers, the fans in the arena and across the boxing industry has been phenomenal. My phone hasn’t stopped ringing and the comments across social media have been non stop.

“The tournament format brings real tension and excitement, but still I couldn’t have predicted just how action-packed and dramatic this one was going to be. James Osborne rose to the occasion perfectly. Nights like this show exactly what GBM is about: giving fighters opportunity, entertaining fans and pushing British boxing forward.”
